Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements
You can sync activities, personal records, and performance
measurements from other Garmin devices to your Forerunner
device using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your
device to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness.
For example, you can record a ride with an Edge device, and
view your activity details and overall training load on your
Forerunner device.

About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you
can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your
maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an
indication of athletic performance and should increase as your
level of fitness improves. The Forerunner device requires wrist-
based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to
display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2
max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either
outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a
moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an
accurate VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number,
description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin
Connect account, you can view additional details about your
VO2 max. estimate, including your fitness age. Your fitness age
gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of
the same gender and different age. As you exercise, your fitness
age can decrease over time.

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate
monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing
Your Wireless Sensors, page 29).
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum
heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). The
estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few
runs to learn about your running performance.
1
Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
2
After your run, select Save.
3
Select UP or DOWN to scroll through the performance
measurements.
TIP: You can select START to view additional information.
Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling
This feature requires a power meter and wrist-based heart rate
or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. The power meter must
be paired with your Forerunner device (Pairing Your Wireless
Sensors, page 29). If you are using a chest heart rate monitor,
you must put it on and pair it with your device.
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9) and set your maximum
heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9). The
estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few
rides to learn about your cycling performance.
1
Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes.
2
After your ride, select Save.
3
Select UP or DOWN to scroll through the performance
measurements.
TIP: You can select START to view additional information.
Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude
impact your training and performance. For example, high
altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but
you may notice a temporary VO2 max. decline while exposed to
high altitudes. Your Forerunner device provides acclimation
notifications and corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and
training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and
when the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track
of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training status
widget.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS
activities and requires weather data from your connected
smartphone.
Viewing Your Predicted Race Times
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup
(Setting Up Your User Profile, page 9), and set your maximum
heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 9).
Your device uses the VO2 max. estimate (About VO2 Max.
Estimates, page 16) and your training history to provide a target
race time. The device analyzes several weeks of your training
data to refine the race time estimates.
TIP: If you have more than one Garmin device, you can enable
the Physio TrueUp
feature, which allows your device to sync
activities, history, and data from other devices (Syncing
Activities and Performance Measurements, page 16).
1
From the watch face, select UP or DOWN to view the
performance widget.
2
Select START to scroll through the performance
measurements.
Your projected race times appear for 5K, 10K, half marathon,
and marathon distances.
NOTE: The projections may seem inaccurate at first. The
device requires a few runs to learn about your running
performance.
